Description

John McCann and Mike McRae love to talk hunting, and our podcast is like listening in on an evening in Mike’s basement. It’s a down-to-earth and often humorous conversation, geared toward new or inexperienced hunters. We separate myths from facts, and dig deep into popular opinion on all things hunting. So far we’ve talked about tactics, spotting, building a back country rifle, ammo selection, optics, backpack necessities and layout, conservation, and wild meat care and preparation… just to name a few. We’ve talked with some great hunters already, and have more industry experts lined up. Our goal is to share what we’ve learned, and help you to make your hunt more successful. Check out Highlander Hunting on Facebook and Instagram, and contact us any time with questions or feedback at [email protected]. Thanks for listening! Mike and John

Episode 65 Going Unleaded for Bears

2021/06/09

June in Alberta, the morels are out and it's time to put in for your hunting draws. Mike and John discuss options for the coming season and chat about the plan to hunt new country. The Covid Crowds are pushing them into a new area. Another topic covered is when hunts don't go as planned. About tracking a wounded black bear when there's a grizzly sow and her cubs in the area. They also discuss their decision to try lead free bullets. Their reasons for this may surprise you! *NOTE: Please excuse our rookie recording, the fancy Telsec Microspace recording studio threw the crew for a loop with all the snazzy sound boards and mixers. Next time you might even be able to hear Mike!! Sharla is sorry she didn't catch it sooner, next one will be awesome!

Episode 63 New Series - Hunt the Front

2021/01/01

Welcome Back! Hunt the Front, a series highlighting big game hunting on private lands of Alberta. We have spent a lot of time discussing backcountry hunting on public land, which we love to do. But we also hunt farmland. Some of the most productive hunts have been on private land. Want to see 400+ elk on a hill at first light? Don't have all weekend to hike in search for game? Concerned about personal safety? These are all great reasons to hunt on private land. On this first episode in the Hunt the Front Series: Elliot the one antlered elk...

Episode 61 Marco Polo Bucket List Hunt

2020/08/27

In this episode we sat down with Alex Sheriff to talk about his 2019 Kyrgyzstan sheep hunt. Alex is very much an authority on wild sheep. He explained to us just how tough and expert the guides were, as well as how hospitable and proud the Kyrgyzstan people are. This was a tough hunt, with equipment failure, in very austere conditions. We hope you enjoy hearing his retelling of this truly epic adventure.

Episode 60 Mother of All Rabbit Holes 2020

2020/08/07

The Boys are Back! The rantings of mad men.... This one goes all over the map. It may offend some and anger others. The gun ban, racism, the Alberta draw system, beer, the effect of local podcasts on the ability of podcasters to draw their usual muley tags are all talked about. Mike and John got together (socially distanced of course) for a long over due recording. They give updates on what they have been up to. Mike has been working on an exciting new business venture, while John has spent too much of the lock down turning his garage into a workshop. The mistress that is Covid 19 comes up in the conversation as well. We hope you missed us as much as we missed you!! Enjoy!

Episode 58 Primitive Weapons Elk Hunt in -30

2020/01/20

WMU 212 is known for a few things, acreages, ranches, and very large elk herds. The herds are well over the province's population objective and so they offer plenty of opportunity to hunters. Mike and John sit down and discuss Mike's antlerless elk hunt in 212, which happened to be in some of the coldest weather we have seen this winter. Hope you enjoy this episode.

2019/11/22

Join us for our latest episode where Mike and John interview one of our listeners Jordan Pack. Just a few short years ago, Jordan and his wife Alaina, didn't hunt, and neither owned a firearm. With glasses full of peaty single malt, we chatted with Jordan as he recounted his first mountain mule deer buck. We really enjoyed hanging out and listening, and we hope you do too. It's been a great season so far! Send us your success or even just some great stories, we love to see how everyone spends their hunting season even if you don't fill your tag 😉 Email us at [email protected]
